again, I'm playing devils advocate here: Path 2: o Step 1: Two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states) ask for Congress to call a convention for proposing amendments. o Step 2: States send delegates to this convention, where they can propose amendments to the Constitution. o Step 3: Three-fourths of the states (38 states) ratify an amendment approved by the convention for proposing amendments, either by their legislatures or special ratifying conventions. What keeps hard core lib states like California, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia to name a few, to come in and subvert the process and place their own liberal amendments?
